If summer in Greece could be poured into a wine glass, it might taste something like this.
Meet Skouras “Salto” Moschofilero Wild Yeast, a seriously refreshing Greek white for anyone ready to venture beyond Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
Salto is made from Moschofilero grown in the high-elevation vineyards of Mantinia in the Peloponnese. Fermented with wild yeasts, it delivers bright acidity and tons of personality. Expect aromas and flavors of jasmine, rose, honeysuckle, lemon, lime, white peach and citrus blossom, finishing crisp, dry and energetic.
If you love the aromatic personality of Albariño or Gewürztraminer but crave the zippy freshness of a dry Riesling, Salto deserves a spot in your glass. In fact, its exhilarating acidity has specifically been compared to Riesling.
And the food pairings? Think grilled whole fish with lemon and olive oil, octopus, shrimp, oysters, calamari, Greek salads, fresh cheeses and seafood risotto. Basically, if you'd eat it overlooking the Aegean, there's a good chance Salto belongs next to it. 🥂
